Wigner distribution and Boltzmann-Shannon entropy for a diatomic molecule under polarized electric field interaction

Quantum Physics 2019-10-21 v1

Abstract

We study the classical chaos appearing in a diatomic molecules BeOBeO, COCO and CNCN due to the interaction with a circularly polarized electric field, and its signature in Quantum Mechanics through the Wigner distribution function and the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy. We found a motion out of the center of the quantum phase space defined by Wigner function when the classical system becomes chaotic, and we found a jumping behavior of the average Boltzmann-Shannon entropy with respect the electric field strength when the classical system becomes chaotic, indicating a sudden increasing in the disorder (or sudden lost of information) in the quantum system.
